Why Commitment is the Antidote for Small Business Conflicts
If you’re a small business leader, you certainly have challenges and conflicts.
You’re experiencing pandemic fatigue. So are your employees.
COVID-19 has made everything more difficult: the newest of which is navigating mandates and the personal vs. public health debate. There’s enough conflict to go around.
That’s why our rallying cry for small business leaders is “Choose Commitment Over Conflict.“
A commitment to conflict resolution.
A commitment to achieving your mission and vision, and living your core values.
A commitment to doing not just what you have to do, but what you should do.
A commitment to a positive, expansive mindset may not make your challenges go away. But you’ll be a better leader, and your team will benefit from your commitment to creating positive change.
We wish things were easier. We really do.
At INFINITI HR, we work with clients in multiple industries and in states across America. There’s no end to the complexity of labor laws and managing “the next normal” of workplace culture. Our team thrives in uncomplicating HR and empowering small businesses.
But that doesn’t mean we ignore the legitimate challenges and conflicts facing our clients.
Conflicts with team members who prefer to work remotely when your leadership wants everyone “back in the office.”
Conflicts in navigating vaccine mandates and personal choice.
Conflicts in hiring great talent in a tight labor market.
The list of conflicts facing our small business clients is endless.
That’s why we’re encouraging our clients and friends in the small business community to choose commitment over conflict.
A commitment to employee retention.
A commitment to creating a road map to navigate an uncertain future.
A commitment to conflict resolution.
No one ever buys a book to learn how to think negatively.
It takes commitment to have a positive mindset.
It takes commitment to be proactive when you’re running on fumes after putting out fire after fire after fire (at home and at work).
It takes commitment to acknowledge sometimes you have to focus on the fundamentals if you want your company to overcome complex challenges.
We know it’s not easy.
As small business owners and leaders ourselves, we can’t tell you how many times we’ve felt drained and burned out. This pandemic has taken its toll on us, as it has on you.
That’s why commitment is so essential.
A commitment to stay focused.
A commitment to honing your vision for your company’s desired future state.
A commitment to doing the hard, important work.
I hope you’ll join us, our team, and our clients this month and choosing commitment over conflict.
We’ve come this far. Let’s commit to going the distance together.
